I just had my first whirlwind day where I left for meetings in the morning and came back home late at night after a holiday party. I’m happy to say that I arrived home feeling fresh and flawless thanks to my arsenal of beauty products that I found at CVS. If you’re new here, let me bring you up to speed, I’m obsessed with CVS! Before I forget, are you part of the CVS Beauty Club? I got a 10% off shopping pass when I joined along with some other cool coupons. If you see some things in this post that you want to try, make sure you join the club to save on your purchases. Okay let’s talk about…

Living in NYC there are so many magical places that a girl can get lost, but can I tell you a secret? My favorite place to get lost… is CVS. Seriously, all of my close girlfriends know this about me. I can spend a good hour wandering around a CVS store. New York City has plenty of drugstores to choose from, but CVS is my favorite because it’s the destination for drugstore beauty. If I’m waiting for a prescription, I’ll browse the aisles and discover a new brand or product that is closer to high end beauty than drugstore beauty. The beauty shopping experience at CVS Pharmacy is getting even better (I’m getting my life!) with in-store enhancements that make it…

I swim every other day. You often ask me how I keep my hair hydrated and soft with my swim schedule and honestly it took some time and research for me to figure out the best approach. Swimming often is great for my health, but it can be really hard on my hair if I’m not careful. I also have eczema on my scalp, so I have to balance that as well. Here is the easy process that I use to keep my hair healthy while I keep my body healthy in the pool. Step One (Pre-Swim): Get in the shower before you get in the pool Think of your hair like a sponge. If you take a dry sponge…

Girl, it is hot… and living in NYC there’s no escaping it. The streets are hot, the subway stations are hot… and my pre-war apartment doesn’t have central air conditioning so until I come home and turn on my window unit… it’s hot there too! So, I’ve been on a mission to find a summer makeup routine that gave me maximum coverage with minimal product. I have a lot of skin pigmentation, so I want that covered up. On the other hand I’m not always in the mood to do a full face when I know it’s just going to sweat off in these NYC streets. My friends with fair skin swear by tinted moisturizer, but the ones I tried didn’t quite…

Dear CeCe, I was looking at your pics and you wear the cutest outfits. I am working very hard to fall/grow in love with my body, specifically my stomach. I notice you don’t hide your belly. All of my outfits as a rule, must camouflage my belly. I don’t like how it protrudes and extends and shakes when I walk. But its a permanent part of me. Short of literally getting it cut off, it will remain with me. So tell me have you ever had an issue with this part of your body? Thank you for your time! Love ya, Cheryl Hi Cheryl! How funny, I have two similar questions in my Instagram DM’s, with summer being here I…

If you’ve ever been curious about my hair, this post is for you! I have Sisterlocks… I reached out to my friends who follow my instagram and asked them what questions they have about my hair. Today’s video covers everything you lovelies wanted to know. You can also see how my hair has grown since I first locked my hair. What are Sisterlocks? Sisterlocks are a natural hairstyle. They’re tiny uniform locks (yup, like “dreadlocks”) that are the result of a precision parting grid, and the use of a specialized tool used to place the hair into its locking formation. What’s Your Fave/Least Fave thing about your sisterlocks? I love how versatile they are… I can’t use heat as…

Every day a different person sends me this question on my snapchat: CeCe, What Lipstick Are You Wearing? I need it! First of all, I love my Snapchat Squad (ya’ll know our secret code– leave it in the comments if you read this post) I’m kind of shy when it comes to talking about makeup because I’m not a professional artist or anything, but you guys are encouraging me to share more so I’m going to step out and confess that I’m always trying out new products. I’m going to start sharing my findings more, starting with today’s “Makeup or Break up”. Makeup = I love it, I’ll buy it again (and I’ll tell you why!) Break up = I wasn’t impressed…
